Weekend camp

I've had projects pouring out my ears over the last couple of weeks!
Carrying out my own experiment for psychology, a compilation of info for history, teaching my own lesson for history and a fieldwork report for biology!
All this called for a much needed break, this was granted at the weekend (Friday 5th - Sunday 7th July 2013), when me along with 5 other explorers and 2 leaders went on a camp to Tolmers activity centre, we had a right blast!

On arriving at 7pm on Friday evening, we headed up the campsite to find our pitch, and then pitched our tents (one each, as I was the only girl so needed my own, so everyone got their own), mine was an old tent with very bent poles so took a little longer to put up than the others.
After that we collected wood for the fire and spent the evening relaxing with good chatter, swiss roll and marshmallows.

We like a fire

We went to bed around midnight (after removing a MASSIVE moth from my tent).

On saturday, a team of 2 cooked breakfast and we left the campsite for a hike at 11:30am, little did we know how long we would be gone.

We stopped to watch a couple of cricket matches

When we finally got back to camp, we relaxed for a while before collecting some more wood and cooked the dinner (spaghetti!).
Following that, we sat around the fire and were eaten alive by mosquitos, so I got the insect repellent and it got passed around the group, before we realised we were recklessly spraying an "extremely flammable" substance very close to open flames...
We got the marshmallows out and Mike toasted his in a stealth position:

Little did he know that the marshmallow he was toasting would result in hours of laughter.

On returning to the group, Mike announced that his marshmallow "looks like a willy" (it did), this resulted in some very childish laughter, every time I regained control, I heard Tom's high pitched giggle or Duncan's monkey laugh and burst into hysterics all over again, we were in fits of laughter for 2 hours non-stop - it was insanely painful.

The following morning we went climbing and abseiling at 10:30 and then packed up the kit and went home, It was such a brilliant weekend and I became really good friends with everyone.

Well that was my weekend, I've got lots of projects and reports to write so I'll be back soon.

Alons-y!
